ðuð

The symbol ×u×, sometimes stylized as xux or XUX, is a typographic representation often used online to convey a playful, affectionate, or coy facial expression. It is an emoticon, a visual representation of emotion created using characters. The "×" characters are typically interpreted as closed eyes or winking eyes, while the "u" represents a mouth. The overall impression is that of a cute or bashful smile.

This emoticon is commonly found in informal digital communication, such as text messages, social media posts, and online chat forums. Its usage can vary depending on context and individual preference, but it generally adds a lighthearted or endearing tone to a message. It is distinct from other facial emoticons as it specifically aims to convey a sense of innocence or gentle amusement. The symbol's simplicity allows for easy typing on most keyboards, contributing to its widespread adoption. While its origins are difficult to pinpoint precisely, it emerged as part of the broader evolution of emoticons and kaomoji as a way to inject personality and emotion into text-based interactions.
